Hi Scott... As a new 8000DLE owner I'm curious to know what the most current firmware version is? Most everything I see here shows 2.3, however mine clearly showed 2.4 on first startup. Sadly I've had issues with it right out of the box, of which Doug has confirmed since he received it yesterday. The firmware was rolled back to 2.2 with the help of one the experienced users here in an effort to remedy the issues before sending it to DougThanksCarl

Scott...This from Doug when I asked him about what version he recommends I run.

Carl,

I did not change the firmware versions. The differences between 2.2, 2.3, & 2.4 are negligible.

2.2 to 2.3 had a freq switching point for the HPF changed from 1.5MHz to 1.8MHz because someone in Europe wanted to listen to the BC band. 2.3 to 2.4 was a minor change so the factory could use a new flash memory chip on the Orion MKII board. Your board doesn’t have the newer memory. If it did your board would not have worked with the older firmware.

Scott, ver. 2.4 is what came on both Carl's and Enne's 8000's. So, for whatever reason, the 8000's appear to be currently shipping with 2/4 installed. In both cases, rolling back to 2.2 or 2.3 did not clear the problems both were having and appear to have no bearing on the issues they are having.
